Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Secretary General Syed Munawar Hasan has asked the government to disown the United States (US) war as soon as possible to solve all the problems facing the country, including the suicide attacks and deteriorating law and order.Talking to various delegations at the Mansoorah on Wednesday, in connection with the forthcoming JI congregation in Lahore, the JI secretary general said that the US was itself crushed under a serious financial crisis, adding that it was high time to 'divorce' the US war.
Munawar Hasan said that the country needs to devise an independent policy on foreign and internal issues since the country had recently witnessed the worst crises of its history because of General (r) Musharraf's policy of joining the US war on terror.
He expressed his sorrow that a handful of senior officials had been fighting a US war against innocent Pakistanis for a few dollars, saying that by deceiving the nation, they have made it the country's war. He demanded the immediate withdrawal of logistics' support to the US forces in Afghanistan and the withdrawal of the army from the Tribal Areas and settled areas of the North Western Frontier Province to solve the issue through jirgas.
